Venus Fly Trap

British alternative rock band founded in Northampton in 1986. Their eclectic style of alternative music blended post-punk with goth to form a dark psychedelic hybrid.

Early releases came out via French label Danceteria, that led to tours in France, Belgium and Germany. European interest has always been strong further albums came out via AZYL (Czech Republic), Spectre Records (Germany), label 48966 (Germany) and SPV Poland (Poland). More tours followed getting to new territories including Holland, Czech Republic, Italy, Hungary, Austria and Poland.

Major festival appearances have had the band sharing the stage with the likes of artist 134825, artist 36930 (Castle Party, Poland), Psyche (2) (Vampira, Warsaw, Poland), artist 58955, (Gotham, London, UK) and Two Witches (Carnival of Souls, UK), artist 37784 & Front Line Assembly.

Veering away from mid-period alternative rock later albums embraced dark electronica and surreal psychedelic atmospherics. In 2002 the back catalog was re-vamped / reissued closely followed by the album "Zenith" and a DVD video compilation "Celluloid" in 2005. In 2009 the release of Metamorphosis 1987-2007" finally collates all of the singles, popular album tracks and 2 brand new pieces ("Human Fly" & "Gemini Lounge").
